Ben groaned in slight discomfort as he wriggled around on the couch. A few weeks had passed, leaving us two months and a week into Kevin's life expectancy. Ben frowned, placing a hand on the ever so slight bump in his stomach, staring blankly at the wall across from him.
Two months. It had all gone past so fast...
As his mind wandered it conjured up an image of him standing by a grave, two little boys standing by his side. The two boys took a step back as Ben dropped to his knees and wrapped his arms around the tombstone.
"Kevin why did you have to leave!?" He sobbed in the vision
He was snapped out of it when Albedo entered the room with a jar of pickles. The teenager grinned and sat up
"Sorry" he apologized "I zoned out"
"I know" Albedo handed him the jar "We need to do something fun" he paused, then a grin lit up his face "Karaoke!"
"Really?"
"Oh come on, it's fun!" Albedo insisted
Ben groaned but smiled and nodded, and the ruby eyes teen rushed away to grab the microphones and disks. When he returned he hooked up the microphones while Ben picked a song for him.
"Aha" he smirked "You're going to sing Its On"
"That's a two player song. You have to sing the girl part"
"Aww why me?"
"I can rap better" he chuckled
He selected the song and handed Ben a mic, stepping back slightly to watch as the brunette began to shake his hips to the beat playing through the surround sound speakers
"Drums
A little guitar, please
One, two, three, four" Albedo smirked
"I hope you're ready for the time of your life
Just look at me
I put a gleam in your eye
Buckle up; we're gonna take you for a ride
Let's go
We got you going; get in the vibe
Everybody, put your hands to the sky
Buckle up
We're gonna take you, take you high" Albedo gawked briefly as Ben perfectly preformed the dance as he sang. He immediately joined in
"Show me, show me, show me, show me, show what you got
Come on, come on, come on, come on, ready or not
La-la-la-la-la, let me see how you bob
It's on, it's on, it's on
Get crazy, crazy, crazy, take it over the top
'Cause we, 'cause we, 'cause when we rock, we let it rock
Rock it, rock it, rock it, dance till we drop
It's on, it's on, it's on"
"Okay now, are you ready?
One, two
One, two, three, four" Albedo called
"Showstoppin' when I step in the place
Before it's done, you're gonna beg me to stay
Get on board
Come on, let's ride the wave
Let's go, let's go
We just do what we do
Watch me break and pop
I'll blast it for you
You wanna rock like us?
'Cause we're never second place"
"Show me, show me, show me, show me, show what you got
Come on, come on, come on, come on, ready or not
La-la-la-la-la, let me see how you bob
It's on, it's on, it's on
Get crazy, crazy, crazy, take it over the top
'Cause we, 'cause we, 'cause when we rock, we let it rock
Rock it, rock it, rock it, dance till we drop
It's on, it's on, it's on"
"Okay now, are you ready?
Come on
One, two
One, two, three
The-the-the-there is no competition
That's why we're in the number one position
Your crew can't hang with us
Man, we're too dangerous
Ain't got the style or the stamina
Just doin' my thing
Get hooked on my swing
Rockin' the place, droppin' the bass
Makin' all the girls sing
Yeah, we make the bells ring
Drums
Yeah
A little guitar, please
One, two, three, four" Ben smirked and joined in
"Show me, show me, show me, show me, show what you got
Come on, come on, come on, come on, ready or not
La-la-la-la-la, let me see how you bob
It's on, it's on, it's on
Show me
Get crazy, crazy, crazy, take it over the top
'Cause we, 'cause we, 'cause when we rock, we let it rock
Rock it, rock it, rock it, dance till we drop
It's on, it's on, it's on
Show me, show me, show me, show me, show what you got
Come on, come on, come on, come on, ready or not
La-la-la-la-la, let me see how you bob
It's on, it's on, it's on
Get crazy, crazy, crazy, take it over the top
'Cause we, 'cause we, 'cause when we rock, we let it rock
Rock it, rock it, rock it, dance till we drop
It's on, it's on, it's on"
"One, two
One, two, three, four-"
"It's on!" both finished loudly
Ben smirked, raising an eyebrow
"That all you got?"
"You wish" Albedo smirked deviously "you're so good, do this"
Ben smirked when he recognized the opening tune. He took a bite of a pickle and hooked the mic firmly in place
"With ease"
Can't Back Down lyrics
We can't
We can't back down
We can't
We can't back down
We can't
We can't back down
We can't
We can't back down
Not right now
We can't back down
Not right now
We can't back down
We can't back down" he winked at the ruby eyed teen watching
"Don't close your eyes
We're all in this together
Wherever we draw the line
We're not gonna straddle across it
Or lose it
We can't back down
There's too much at stake
This is serious
Don't walk away
We can't pretend it's not happening
In our own backyard
Our own home plate
(No way)
We've been called out
(We've been called out)
Do you hear your name?
(Yeah)
I'm not confused
Let's win this thing
(Let's do it)
We can't back down
There's too much at stake
Don't walk away
Don't walk away, yeah" Albedo's jaw dropped
"Don't get me wrong
I don't like competition I'd rather we all just get
along
Music should be undivided, united
We can't back down
There's too much at stake
This is serious
Don't walk away
We can't pretend it's not happening
In our own backyard
Our own home plate
(No way)
We've been called out
(We've been called out)
Do you hear your name?
(Yeah)
I'm not confused
Let's win this thing
(Let's do it)
We can't back down
There's too much at stake
Don't walk away
Don't walk away, yeah
We got a situation that we can't ignore
'Cause ignorance is not this We don't have to take
this, no
With every big decision
Comes an equally important share of the risk
We gotta take this
We can't back down
There's too much at stake
This is serious
Don't walk away
We can't pretend it's not happening
In our backyard
Our own home plate
We've been called out
Do you hear your name?
I'm not confused
Let's win this thing
We can't back down
There's too much at stake
Don't walk away
Don't walk away, yeah
We can't back down
We can't back down
Not right now
We can't back down" he finished
"I'm impressed" Albedo admitted
"Bring it on" Ben smirked
"Duet?"
"Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley?"
The song started almost immediately and Ben slowly moved his hips to the rhythm
"We didn't care if people stared
We'd make out in a crowd somewhere
Somebody'd tell us to get a room
It's hard to believe that was me and you
Now we keep saying that we're okay
But I don't want to settle for good not great
I miss the way that it felt back then I wanna feel that way again
Been so long that you'd forget the way I used to kiss your neck" Albedo sang softly
"Remind me, remind me" Ben sang, stepping up onto the coffee table
"So on fire so in love. Way back when we couldn't get enough" Albedo smirked
"Remind me, remind me" Ben sang, looking down at his friend
"Remember the airport dropping me off
We were kissing goodbye and we couldn't stop"
"I felt bad cause you missed your flight"
"But that meant we had one more night" both sang
"Do you remember how it used to be
We'd turn out the lights and we didn't just sleep"
"Remind me, baby, remind me"
"Oh, so on fire so in love
That look in your eyes that I miss so much"
"Remind me, baby, remind me" he sang
"I wanna feel that way"
"Yeah, I wanna hold you close"
"Oh, if you still love me
Don't just assume I know" both sang
"Baby, remind me, remind me"
"Do you remember the way it felt?"
"You mean back when we couldn't control ourselves"
"Remind me"
"Yeah, remind me"
"All those things that you used to do
That made me fall in love with you
Remind me, oh, baby, remind me!"
"Yeah, you'd wake up in my old t-shirt
All those mornings I was late for work
Remind me"
"Oh, baby, remind me" both sang softly
"Oh, baby, remind me, baby, remind me" Ben breathed
"Yeah, you'd wake up in my old t-shirt" he hummed into the mic
"Remind me, yeah, oh" Ben sang gently
"Baby, remind me" Albedo finished
They turned when they heard applause and blushed when they spotted Kevin in the doorway. He chuckled and walked over, holding his hand out for a microphone. Albedo gave him one and he hooked it up
"Mind if I sing one with Benji?"
"Course not" Albedo moved off to the side to watch
"Uh... What are we singing?"
Kevin chuckled
"You'll see"
Music began playing through the room and Ben blushed
"Oh, I see how it is"
"Hi Barbie" Kevin smirked and Ben smirked deviously
"Hi Ken!" he purred
"Do you wanna go for a ride?"
"Sure Ken!"
"Jump In..."
"I'm a barbie girl, in the barbie world
Life in plastic, it's fantastic!
You can brush my hair, undress me everywhere
Imagination, life is your creation"
"Come on Barbie, let's go party!"
"I'm a barbie girl, in the barbie world

"You're my doll, rock'n'roll, feel the glamour in pink,

"You can touch, you can play, if you say: "I'm always yours"
(uu-oooh-u)

"Ah-ah-ah-yeah"
"Come on Barbie, let's go party!"
"uu-oooh-u"
"Make me walk, make me talk, do whatever you please

"Come jump in, bimbo friend, let us do it again,

"You can touch, you can play, if you say: "I'm always yours"
You can touch, you can play, if you say: "I'm always yours""
"Come on Barbie, let's go party!"
"Ah-ah-ah-yeah"

"uu-oooh-u"
"Come on Barbie, let's go party!"
"Ah-ah-ah-yeah"

"uu-oooh-u"

"uu-oooh-u"
"Come on Barbie, let's go party!"
"Ah-ah-ah-yeah"
"Come on Barbie, let's go party!"
"uu-oooh-u"
"Oh, I'm having so much fun!"
"Well Barbie, we're just getting started" he smirked
"Oh, I love you Ken!" He purred
Albedo was practically tearing up he was laughing so hard by the end. He clapped as he laughed
"That was brilliant" he choked out
"Of course it was" Kevin smirked "I was involved"
"Don't make me hit you" Ben smiled innocently "Now sit down I want to do one I just learned the other day"
"Okay"
Music began filling the room and Kevin's eyes widened when he recognized the song.
"Oh lord. If he dances this I think I might have a stroke"
Albedo cocked a confused and curious eyebrow at his friend, but Kevin shook his head
"You'll see"
Ben began swinging his hips as the music picked up
"Cause I'll be Table Dancing"
"Oh dear god" Albedo choked out when he clued in "he's going to dance"
"This is your chance yeah
To be with me and you will see
Up on the table dancing
That's where romance is
If you're with me

"Thank you DJ for playing my song

"Oh my dear god Benji" he breathed
Without another word he moved Ben from his lap, leapt up, and rushed from the room with a hand over his nose. Albedo chuckled at Bens confused look
"You gave him a nosebleed" he informed him
Ben blushed
